Anorexia nervosa has the highest mortality rates of any psychiatric condition - 10% of those diagnosed die due to related factors. This eating disorder primarily affects women, especially adolescent girls, struggling with the pressure of today’s society to be thin. The obsessive fear of gaining weight, combined with body image distortion is a deadly lethal mix. It drives individuals to try to control their body weight by voluntary starvation, binge-eating, purging, vomiting and excessive exercise.

When I hear the word anorexia, I usually think of Nicole Ritchie, Lindsey Lohan and the Olsen Twins. Every gossip rag at the supermarket’s check out counter has always some big bold letters announcing which female celebrity is seeking treatment for it. So I was quite surprised when I picked up our local newspaper last week and read about Dennis Quaid and his battle with “manorexia” - the male version of anorexia. Well, well, well…. What do we have here? It seems that the big Hollywood trend of “skin and bones” is not just limited to its female population.

My husband thinks that I have gone off the rocker.

I was just explaining to him my theory on weight gain - slow eaters vs. fast eaters. And the little crazy experiment I had set out to prove my point.

Sometime in November, I had lunch with an old high school buddy of mine. Let’s call him Dave.

Now, Dave is probably the slowest eater you will ever find on the face of this planet. When we have dinner parties at a restaurant, there’s always that contemplation whether to invite Dave or not because if he was invited, dinner could pretty much last about 2 hours longer.

This delicious treat adds only 1.9 grams of carb for a Superb Roll of any size. Just add a glaze to the rolls once they are baked. While the rolls are baking, make 1/2 or 1/2 of the below mentioned glaze. Apply the glaze thinly with a pastry brush to the tops of the hot rolls. It will set within minutes. The rolls will freeze well, even with the glaze. Thaw at room temperature or follow directions for heating in the oven. Glaze

A couple of days ago, while I was checking out Black Friday Deals online, I came across this book - Designing Infidelity: A Reference Guide to the Art of Cheating to Perfection:

“The art to infidelity and cheating to perfection has finally arrived! Designing Infidelity is a complete, informative reference guide that outlines the do’s and don’ts, fine tunes your awareness to the details that most often slip through the cracks and leads you through the preparation and survival process of your extramarital affair.

Do you believe in honesty as the best policy? So when you are approached with the question “do I look fat in this” which stand will you take?

The absolute truth - Yes, You Do.
The noncommittal - You Look Great.
The absolute lie - No, You Don’t.

If you were the one asking the question, where do you fit in?
